A baby-blue colored pond found, of course, only in Japan (22 Photos)

Turquoise water of the Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido, with trees growing straight in the middle of it makes this place look otherworldly. The pond is real and it’s gathering popularity among tourists.

Scientists don’t know exactly what gives the Blue Pond its incredible aquamarine color, but one of the possible explanations is that aluminum rich water from the river nearby creates a colloid – a solution of dispersed microscopic particles – that reflects sunlight in a peculiar way. Either way, it’s a spectacular natural phenomenon.

I feel like some guy is like…"American's will come and visit our pond if we dye it blue. Then they will buy our blue soda, jelly, and postcards"

Plenty of ponds around here (Central and Northeast Georgia) in and around kaolin mines. The blue hole at Lake Blackshear was like this and incredibly deep and cold. We used to go there and drink beer and jump off the rope. Its that color because of bauxite.

We have mountain streams that color here in Colorado. Caused by runoff/drainage from all the old mines.

bref

We have those everywhere in the Canadian rockies as well.

See lake louise or peyto lake.
Cold but we at least know why they're turquoise.

There's several lakes like this in Jiuzhaigou Valley in China. Jiuzhaigou Valley is like the yellowstone of China.
